They also collaborate with a variety of other musicians under many futuristic pseudonyms.
The group's debut album Deltron 3030, released on May 23, 2000, is a concept album set in the year 3030 that tells of the dualistic conflict of fatalism that takes place between the moral concepts of "righteousness" and "malevolence." The story tells a prophetic tale of a warrior's thirst for battle as Del's alter ego, who goes by the name "Deltron-Zero," along with his comrade who happens to be a time-traveling cyborg wizard named "the Automator," face-off against megalithic corporations that megalomaniacally rule over our thermodynamic universe. The lyrics were written in less than two weeks and are characterized by extravagant allusions to futuristic outer-space themes in the tradition of Afrofuturist works by Sun Ra and George Clinton. Many samples originated with the contemporary French classical composer William Sheller.
Deltron 3030's second album, titled Event 2, was released in September, 2013.
Production began as far back as 2004, and in November 2006 Del told IGN that four songs were already written and that "the album's lyrical theme has been basically mapped out." Dan the Automator stated that the recording of the new album would probably be completed by December 2006, and that it would be released in 2007. Due to a series of delays, group members issued a number of statements predicting imminent completion in 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012.
On June 11, 2012, Deltron 3030 performed at the Luminato festival in Toronto, Ontario, a show that Kid Koala dubbed the Deltron Event 2 World Premiere. The group played with a full horn, strings, and rhythm section conducted by Dan the Automator, premiered ten songs from Event 2, and revealed the visual style of the new album. In accordance with Del's statement that "3030 actually was one event, but these events can span centuries." The first single from the album was "City Rising From the Ashes," a song influenced by the story of Osiris. On September 23, 2013, Event 2 was put on Pitchfork's Advance Streaming service in its entirety, one week before its official release.
In October 2016, an expanded edition of Event 2 was released, featuring instrumentals from the album. Alongside this new addition, a live album featuring the Deltron 3030, many of their collaborators from the Event 2 album, and the 3030 Orchestra, simply entitled Live, was released.
On an episode of Red Bull Radio Peak Time in 2018, Dan The Automator confirmed he was working on a new Deltron 3030 album, stating "there's a couple songs that exist." He also hinted that Dr. Octagon would have a cameo on the album.

Here at Brynmar College
We can get you prepared for the 31st century
With advanced programming and quad rendering
And Java plus plus plus scripting language
We offer advanced job placement assistance
So upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Comin from the outer regions of the universe
Deltron Zero and Automator
Check it
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Hey time for you to upgrade, fuck save, time to load
All my rhymes the soul, and find your own
Salivate over what I collaborate,with high tech wizardry
And breathe new life into the industry
Save to the hard drive, for the archives
Three thousand thirty, with a global apartheid
Sensitivity ain't the energy, brain chemically contorted
With no coordinates, to your ordinance
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Yo, your recovery's slow
My dual input, plus my modem, the tools in foot
Long songs instrumental digital projector professor
I'll school you on the art and how it's texture mapped
Get your act together, my style is mega
Educate the heads of eight lonely beggars
Only shred of evidence is the virtual file
Stored within the cerebellum hit you Berkowitz style
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
My defense capabilities, with ape agility
Take possibilities to the point of sense and shatter it
Commence the babbling, I'm meditatin' on a homosapien
With no education I'm 3D acceleration
My programmin' language, is the strangest
To come to grips, with mechanized mischief
Kicks it off with circular projectiles, X-Files
Heralded, as the most important dwarf the corporates
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Hey, I reduce the gain
When I boost my brain
What you used to sayin
I loosen the frame
With shock announcements
T-Minus and countin'
Effects control and bouncin'
Star studded and flooded like fountains
A new machine
Real artists are few between
You better lube your screen
My renders are splendor
Three sixty reflecting quickly
Increase your disk speed
So you can
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
My production model is the stuff to boggle minds
You got a logon time of exactly thirty-six nanoseconds
Ambidextrious with ambience
Watch the cannons twist while I lockout my hardware
Word warfare logistically locate and process
With psychotropics to optimize my profits
Envelop you with development kits that help me
To embellish the elements dynamic and too intelligent
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Lookie here, as soon as I release the chip
You cease to rip
Synopsis, you want to top this? reach to it
Digital retouch, reconstruct a whole conglomerate
With our armaments we use with tolerance
Such as a G-Bomb, cyborg with 3 arms
Translate the ancient language with a brain dish
Micro machines polystrene conducting electrons
Deltron strengthen with molecular bonds
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter
Uuhaaaa...uh

I remember this as clear as day.
Sitting in my brothers room at the home pc
Iβll set the scene by saying there was a bulky dell monitor with a fat tower, cdβs with scholastic games(my man putt putt)
Posters and wall scrolls adorning the walls. Everything from ghost in the shell to gorrilaz.
He said βI want you to listen to this and itβs going to change how you look at our futuresβ at the time I didnβt know what to think about it. Whenever I hear this song Iβm right back in my happy place.
My brother gone from my life but I still remember it so clearly itβs scary almost.
He was right
This song changed how I thought about everything.
Clay waiting to be molded to our will.
Iβm ready Elon and am ready to βupgradeβ my βgrey matterβ because someday βit may matterβ

This album is the Dark Side of the Moon of hp hop. I can't just listen to one song, it has to be the whole album.
